"Dying at the Top; or the Moral and Spiritual Condition of the Young Men of America," by Rev. Jos. Waddell Clokey, D.D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of New Albany, Ind. W. W. Vansardale, 10 Arcade Court, Chicago, Ill. 124 pages; paper, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents. This is a short book with very long "apology" for its appearance; but if there were but a thousandth part of the evils in existence which he condemns, such a book needs no defense. The author touches the Sabbath question very lightly, evidently believing in a civil Sabbath. But why does he not plead for prohibition laws for all immorality? Civil laws will never aid in the true keeping of the Sabbath. There are many startling facts presented in the book, which hardly justify Mr. Clokey's expressed hopefulness.
